Vehicle to vehicle (V2V) wireless communications
This work focuses on the vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, its current challenges, future perspective and possible improvement.V2V communication is characterized by the dynamic environment, high mobility, nonpredective scenario, propagation effects, and also communicating antenna's positions. This peculiarity of V2V wireless communication makes channel modelling and the vehicular propagation quite challenging. In this work, firstly we studied the present context of V2V communication also known as Vehicular Ad-hoc Netwok (VANET) including ongoing researches and studies particularly related to Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC), specifically designed for automotive uses with corresponding set of protocols and standards. Secondly, we focused on communication models and improvement of these models to make them more suitable, reliable and efficient for the V2V environment. As specifies the standard, OFDM is used in V2V communication, Adaptable OFDM transceiver was designed. Some parameters as performance analytics are used to compare the improvement with the actual situation. For the enhancement of physical layer of V2V communication, this work is focused in the study of MIMO channel instead of SISO. In the designed transceiver both SISO and MIMO were implemented and studied successfully
Power Efficient MISO Beamforming for Secure Layered Transmission
This paper studies secure layered video transmission in a multiuser
multiple-input single-output (MISO) beamforming downlink communication system.
The power allocation algorithm design is formulated as a non-convex
optimization problem for minimizing the total transmit power while guaranteeing
a minimum received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at the
desired receiver. In particular, the proposed problem formulation takes into
account the self-protecting architecture of layered transmission and artificial
noise generation to prevent potential information eavesdropping. A
semi-definite programming (SDP) relaxation based power allocation algorithm is
proposed to obtain an upper bound solution. A sufficient condition for the
global optimal solution is examined to reveal the tightness of the upper bound
solution. Subsequently, two suboptimal power allocation schemes with low
computational complexity are proposed for enabling secure layered video
transmission. Simulation results demonstrate significant transmit power savings
achieved by the proposed algorithms and layered transmission compared to the
baseline schemes.Comment: Accepted for presentation at the IEEE Wireless Communications and

Secrecy performance of TAS/SC-based multi-hop harvest-to-transmit cognitive WSNs under joint constraint of interference and hardware imperfection
In this paper, we evaluate the secrecy performance of multi-hop cognitive wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In the secondary network, a source transmits its data to a destination via the multi-hop relaying model using the transmit antenna selection (TAS)/selection combining (SC) technique at each hop, in the presence of an eavesdropper who wants to receive the data illegally. The secondary transmitters, including the source and intermediate relays, have to harvest energy from radio-frequency signals of a power beacon for transmitting the source data. Moreover, their transmit power must be adjusted to satisfy the quality of service (QoS) of the primary network. Under the joint impact of hardware imperfection and interference constraint, expressions for the transmit power for the secondary transmitters are derived. We also derive exact and asymptotic expressions of secrecy outage probability (SOP) and probability of non-zero secrecy capacity (PNSC) for the proposed protocol over Rayleigh fading channel. The derivations are then verified by Monte Carlo simulations.Web of Science195art. no. 116
